* WHERE...North, west, and south facing reefs of Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated swells coming from the southwesterly monsoon surge and Typhoon Choi-wan (26W) to the north will allow advisory-level surf and a high risk of rip currents to continue.
Instructions
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
